Cao Hui rode his horse in the afterglow of the setting sun. At this time, there were only two guards beside him, but there were more than a dozen horses surrounded by him. He had been running for a day and night.

In the Battle of Luzhou, Guo Xiancheng arrived with ten thousand Longxiang troops, he finally barely blocked Zhou Jiyun's offensive and stabilized the situation in Luzhou. Guo Xiancheng and Zhou Jiyun, the pair of Gemini stars in front of Cao Yun, finally faced the front in Luzhou.

The situation in Luzhou was stable, Cao Hui's heart had just fallen, and a top-secret news made him lose his soul.

The news comes from the Nantianmen.

Everything was a trap. A conspiracy to transfer the troops and horses around Chang'an and Chang'an, not only the emperor, the chief assistant Tian Fen, but also Cao Hui, were played with and applauded by the old thief Zhou Yifu.

No one thought that the Nantianmen would betray the court, but this happened. It was absolutely impossible to secretly hide more than 20,000 elite soldiers on the territory of the Nantianmen, which was definitely not something that could be done in a short period of time. In other words, this conspiracy was planned since a long time ago.

Cao Hui felt bitter in his mouth, and his heart was filled with bitterness. Why? Why do you think that Nantianmen would not betray the imperial court? Because they are just a sect in the world, no, that's not the case. Since the day he was born, Nantianmen has not been a simple sect in the world. They have always been an independent and powerful force, but the layer of sect in the world they wore covers their true face.

More than a hundred years ago, they abandoned the Tang Dynasty that they should have protected for the sake of their interests. Now, they are once again going to betray the Great Qi Dynasty for their interests.

Cao Hui felt a chill in his heart. In Chang'an City, the power of the wealthy families had almost been wiped out, but even he dared not assert that the foundation brought by the thousands of years of family inheritance was far from being able to uproot the roots in just a few decades. Since Zhou Yifu dared to do this, he naturally had his confidence. Nantianmen has three masters and countless masters with powerful martial arts cultivation. What's even more terrifying is that they have countless manpower and strong positions in Chang'an City.

Cao Hui could not imagine the scene when tens of thousands of enemy cavalry suddenly appeared in Chang'an City. Qinglong Mountain, where the Nantianmen is located, is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an City, and can arrive in the morning and evening. I am afraid that when their troops arrive at the city, Chang'an City will not even be prepared.

At this time, reinforcements are needed in Chang'an.

But he had no soldiers to adjust. Even if Guo Xiancheng was so anxious that he jumped, he would not dare to activate the soldiers and horses of Luzhou City. Zhou Jiyun was eyeing him. As long as he showed a little flaw, the tiger would open his bloody mouth and bit it fiercely with his sharp fangs. What's more, how could Cao Hui dare to believe Guo Xiancheng without reservation at this time?

Cao Yun is in Luoyang! Is this matter related to him? Was he kept it in the dark or participated in this planning? If Cao Yun personally participated in this planning...

Cao Hui didn't dare to think about it anymore. If this was the case, there would inevitably be great changes in Luoyang.

If Cao Yun really wanted to take Cao Tiancheng and replace him, the troops gathered in Luoyang now would become a weapon in his hands. Once the emperor had any shortcomings, would those troops loyal to the emperor and the surrounding Longxiang army still have such firm beliefs?

Perhaps Cao Yun could let these troops lie at his feet with a handwritten letter.

The war horse under his crotch made a thick gasp, and Cao Hui jumped up and landed on the other horse beside him. For the past day and night, he kept running like this, following his guards gradually fell behind, so that only two people could barely keep up with him now.

"Military camp, commander, I saw General Tuoba's military camp!" A guard shouted loudly.

Cao Hui looked up and in the wilderness in the distance, a military camp appeared in front of him. The military flag was waving in the air, and the two big characters were drawn, making his eyes hurt.

He roared and rode his horse and ran towards the military camp there.

His purpose was to Tuobayan's army.

Tuobayan withdrew from Hengduan Mountain. After resting, he was ordered to move towards Luoyang. However, after half a month, the battle situation in Luzhou underwent dramatic changes. The Qi army suddenly became extremely inferior from extreme, so that Guo Xiancheng had to lead 10,000 Longxiang troops to Luzhou to resist Zhou Jiyun. The army of Tuobayan was transferred to Luzhou at the request of Guo Xiancheng.

They are now the closest to Chang'an and have strong combat effectiveness.

Dozens of horses rushed to the camp in the distance without slowing down.

A powerful crossbow passed over their heads with a sharp roar. The police roars rang in the distance, and teams of cavalry turned over and rushed out of the barracks.

"Stop the person coming! Those who rush to the camp will die." A roar came from the direction of the camp. This powerful crossbow was a warning to them. The two guards lowered their horse speed in fear. If the other party really treats them as enemies and a rain of arrows comes, it will be unfair to die.

They slowed down, but Cao Hui still ignored it and rode alone, crossing the crowd. Not only did he not slow down, but he was accelerating. The sound of horse hooves on the opposite side, and dozens of riders came towards him.

"I am Cao Hui, I want to see Tuobayan!" Cao Hui stood up from his horse and shouted loudly.

The opposite side was stunned and stopped the horse. At this time, the two sides were already very close. Cao Hui stood up from the horse so that the opponent's cavalry could see his face more clearly.

"The commander Cao is really you!" The cavalryman on the opposite side exclaimed, "Give up the way, give way."

The cavalry rushed out of the camp all jumped left and right, gave way to Cao Hui, and then closed it up again, but stopped Cao Hui's two personal guards and dozens of empty horses outside.

Murong Hai looked at Cao Hui, who was as crazy as if he was crazy, "What big thing happened? Is it so embarrassing? Didn't Luzhou be conquered?"

He burst into laughter, and Shiran rode his horse towards the empty horse that had stopped there, "What are these two brothers doing?"

Before he finished speaking, the two knights on the horse were shaking and fell off the horse with a snap. This scared Murong Hai, jumped off the horse, trotted to the two, and squatted down to see that the two were actually lying on the ground like this, and snoring in the blink of an eye.

Murong Hai was even more surprised. It seemed that something big happened. He waved his hand: "Come, carry these two guys to the military camp."

He turned his back on his horse and ran towards the camp. He wanted to figure out what had happened.

Cao Hui's appearance scared Tuobayan, covered in dust, disheveled hair, and blood-red eyes. There was no such thing as the handsome young man in the past. It was not an exaggeration to say that Cao Hui was a crazy man at this moment.

"Commander Cao, what's wrong? What happened in Luzhou?" Tuobayan looked at Cao Hui, who jumped off his horse but almost limped his legs and asked.

"Tuobayan, the troops led immediately, and then returned to Chang'an." Cao Hui's voice neighed.

Tuobayan was stunned: "Commander Cao, the military order I received was to go to Luzhou to assist General Guo in guarding Luzhou. How could I go to Chang'an? Besides, where is Chang'an? How could I go? And I would bring my troops there?"

Cao Hui took out a military order from his arms and opened it with a squeak: "See? This is the military order given to you by Marshal Guo. From now on, you can listen to my orders, take all actions, and follow my orders."

Tuobayan took the military order that was somewhat blurred by sweat, took a closer look, confirmed that there was no falsehood, and then nodded, "I will obey the order."

"Immediately, assemble all troops, abandon all the baggage, and only bring one day's rations, and follow me back to Chang'an. Tuobayan, tell me, three hundred miles, one night, can you arrive in Chang'an?"

"Come here overnight?" Tuobayan was startled, "Commander Cao, although my three thousand personal guards are all one person and two horses, they run for 300 miles overnight. Even if they arrive in Chang'an, wouldn't they be exhausted?"

"I have to rush there even if I am so exhausted, hurry up!"

"What happened?" Tuobayan asked.

"Get together the army, I will talk to you while walking on the road." Cao Hui grabbed Tuobayan and said sternly.

Tuobayan nodded and saw Murong Hai running over hurriedly, saying, "Haizi, whistle and gather troops, we will set off urgently."

Murong Hai, who had just arrived, nodded in no time, so he said: "Yes, beat drums and trumpets to gather troops, and set off urgently."

"Abandon all the supplies and bring only one day's rations!" Tuobayan said immediately.

In less than half an hour, three thousand men and six thousand horses rumbled out of the camp without taking away any supplies. Even the camp was abandoned and left here.

On Chang'an, Yulong Mountain, Cao Chong held the wine glass and placed it on his lips. He hadn't taken a sip for a long time. His eyes were always in the Chang'an City, which had reflected half of the sky red in the distance. Things were not resolved as quickly as he imagined, but the firelight quickly spread from the southern city towards the center of the city.

"Mr. Cao, things seem to be not as simple as you think!" Wei Zhuang said with a smile, "You really don't go and take a look?"

Cao Chong did not refuse this time, but he pondered silently.

A sudden sound of footsteps sounded on the steps. Cao Chong turned his head and looked in that direction. His face suddenly changed. The person came, it turned out to be the crown prince of the dynasty. Looking at Cao Zhu's embarrassed appearance, Cao Chong stood up suddenly.

"Uncle, Nantianmen rebelled and colluded with Zhou and others. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen entered Chang'an City, and Chang'an City was in danger." Cao Zhu rushed to Cao Chong a few steps and said in a trembling voice.
